Check out my latest coverage on our Nothing New November Challenge featured on Remake Guess what? It is really cool to care about the impact your shopping is having on the planet. Shopping secondhand is also some of the best shopping you can do to curate your style and maximize your budget. Yes, I wear used clothes. Not because I have to, but because I choose to. I choose to exercise my spending power to do good. I wear my values. I only purchase clothing that I feel has not

Join Remake & the sustainable fashion movement to #boycottblackfriday Hello biggest shopping day of the year! Believe it or not, as much as I love shopping, I am not at all in favor of Black Friday.

We are going to have fun- maybe trying some new things for some of us- maybe some -out-of-our-comfort zone things, like wearing used clothes- but I promise it will all be worth it! I’ve bonded with friends, both new & old, over shopping secondhand, swapping clothes and even just playing dress up, shopping our own closets. Fashion is fun! And so is this!

I can’t deny that wearing her fun, flirty and responsibly made garment made a super happy ending to a very long and fashion-filled week!
